Thank you Katherine and Amy Julia. I see now that I have been trying to attain the second “good life” of moral and spiritual excellence to be accepted. I had never heard of that. I have recently been healed by God if my last extreme disability called “dissociative identity disorder”, I don’t have joy (yet), but instead feel I have lost my identity. I had a physical disability I have been on disability for 9 years for, and have been healed of that 4-years ago. (See how there is not a huge amount of joy?) I am very interested to see this very interesting journey of blessing God has me on, while at the same time mourning my loss of sense of worth, identity and belonging because I have now lost my status as disabled! Wow, how interesting God! I’m gonna plan on continuing to come back here and listen, learn and belong here with y’all, even if yet now I don’t know why, except that I am a believer who has suffered tremendously and also been filled with the joys of being beloved of God whether or not I have a disability. This podcast episode was for me in this time in my life, and I just really want to thank you Katherine for not excluding those without disabilities, but rather including everyone, since we all suffer in some ways. Belonging because we are made in the image of God Who is Love That y’all talked about - is profound. Going to be meditating on that for some time. I plan to come back and post another comment when I have more clarity on what this means for me. Blessings sisters in Christ! And thank you for your work and expression in this area of life experience. 💕
"...posture of the heart..." how incredibly beautiful! I am adopting that as one of my mantras, thank you Katherine Wolf.
